The building season opena lively.
Numerous new dwellings are going up
in different parte of the city.
The change of weather on last Sunday
was bo sudden us to be a subject of gen
eral remark even by the oldest settlers.
The society of Friends hold regular
meetings on the Sabbath at the Troth
school house in Monroe precinct, which
are largely attended.
About three thousand pounds of ra
tions for the Ponca Indians who will
probably take in this point on their way
to the Indian Territory, are stored in
this city.
Straw hats have made their appearan
ce, but the man that can wear one dur
ing such stiff gales as prevailed last
week and not use any "cuss" words ex
hibits a truly Christian spirit.
These are times for desperation among
item hunters, while observation is con
fined almost entirely to the operations of
the destructive 'hopper, and the mind of
nearly every one busy with conjectures
as to the damage that will be done to the
growing crops.
The work of putting out shade trees
hua heretofore been sadly neglected in
our city, and we are glad to see a grow
ing disposition among our citizens to
amend in this particular. There is yet
time improve it, and let every door
yard have shade trees.

Next Monday is the date of the spec
ial election for the Platte river bridge
bonds. While the proposition has been
pretty thoroughly discussed there are a
few points that have not not been made
clear. One of them is the coBt to each
tax payer for interest on the bonds,
itecords of the county treasurer's office
show that the valuation of the city of
Columbus is $837,000, which includes
the railroads and terminals. To meet
the annual interest on the $25,000 bonds
it will require 81,125. This will mean a
levy of one and one-third mills, on every
thousand dollars J actual valuation.
Divided among the taypayers of the
city, the amount is quite small for each
one. In the township, which has a val
uation of 8740,000, and of which $243,
000 is railroad property, the levy would
be one-third of one mill, or sis cents tax
on each one thousand dollars actual
valuation, the total interest being $200
per year. Columbus and adjacent terri
tory is much interested in the Platte
river bridge, and they have an example
on the east of them that they should
not follow. At Schuyler they have
persistently refused to build a bridge
across the Platte, and what has been the
result. Schuyler property is worth prac
tically what one is willing to pay for it,
there are empty stores in the town, and
the farm lands do not bring the prices
of those adjacent to this city. Our peo
ple certainly do not want such a condi
tion to exist here, and the trade from
south of the Platte river at Columbus
means as much to this city as it does
south of the river from Schuyler. It is
certainly an unfortunate state of affairs
in our neighboring city, and Columbus
should not emulate her example. The
rebuilding of the Platte river bridge
brings money and people to this city,
and enhances the value of business and
farm property in .this locality.
Just to remind Columbus citizens of
the only real boom days ever enjoyed by
the city, Gub G. Becber is displaying
a photograph of the now Meridian
hotel, taken twenty years ago. At
that time, which wbb shortly after
it was built, it was known as
"The Fleming," which name it was
operated under for a number of years.
At the time the photograph was taken
Columbus boasted of a street railway
line, the equipment of which was two
horse cars. These were in front of the
building at the time, and carried banners
calling attention to Highland Park, the
then new addition to Columbus. At
that time the building was headquarters
of the Columbus Land and Investment
company, which had laid out the High
land Park addition. This hotel, which
was built in 1889, was rushed to comple
tion to be ready for the encampment of
the Knights of Pythias, which was held
here. This photograph is of interest
just now owing to the fact that the
Meridan hotel is now being enlarged and
remodelled, nnd with the modern pressed
brick front will in no wise resemble the
original building
Mrs. Amelia Lachnit, aged 89 years,
died last Friday at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Peter Creisen. Mrs.
Lachnit was one of the early settlers of
this locality. Born in Austria March
25, 1829. she came to Americn with her
husband in 1874 and settled in Butler
county. Later the family removed to
Nebraska City, where her husband died,
and she then returned to Columbus and
has'since made her home with her daugh
ter, Mrs. Grcisen. Besides her daughter
in this city Mrs. Lachnit leaves one son,
Frank Lachnit, who resides in Ohio, nnd
a daughter. Mrs. J. W. Smith, who re
sides near Humphrey. She was a sister
of Josephine Lachnit, who died in this
city February 2. Funeral services were
held Monday at St. Bonaventura's
church at 10 a. in., being conducted by
Father Marcellinua, and burial was in
the parish cemetery.
Memorial Day committees appointed
by the Grand Army and Sons of Veter
and held a meeting Saturday evening to
report on plans for the observation of
Memorial Day, May 30. This year the
Sons of Veterans will in all probability
take u more active part in the services,
and some of their number will assist E.
O. Hector in preparing the graves for
that day. This duty has been performed
by the old soldiers, but as their ranks are
growing thinner each year, the work in
connection with proper observation of
the day is being turned over to the
younger order. During the year several
old soldiers have been added to the roll
of those whose graves are to be decor
ated, which grows larger each year.
J. II . Uartigan of Lincoln, adjutant
general of the National Guard of Nebra

as yet complete, but will be in plenty of
time. So far all the other details have
been looked after, and the visitors can
expect a cordial welcome and a royal
good time.

Paul Kissel has signed up as one of
the pitchers with the Columbus base
ball team in the state league. Paul is

to be pretty nearly depopulated when
Columbus plays at home, Silver Creek
Sand.

Not in years have conditions been such
as they were during the recent cold
weather. The early spring had brought
out the fruit blossoms and all early
vegetation, and from present indica
tions this crop will be a total loss. Sun
day and Monday nights were the coldest,
the thermometer registering 20 above
zero.
William T. Hood, special agent of the
census department, who is in charge of
manufacturing and kindred industries,
hss been making this city his headquar
ters for the past week. He is located in
Omaha and has charge of several men in
the state, andalso looks after a part of
the field work. He expects to finish up
in this locality in two or three weeks.
It was generally supposed that noth
ing came of the meeting of the represen
tatives of the Commercial clubs from the
towns on the branches, held in this city
some time ago, but now comes the rum
or that the Albion people will have their
request granted, and that a motor car
will soon be placed in service on that
branch on the schedule they naked for.
And it is also understood that the towns
on the Spalding branch, believing they
made a mistake at that time, have made
up their minds that they want some
thing too.
Tom Williams, a Greek, who has made
this city bis home for the past two years,
died at bis home, south of the Grand
Pacific hotel, Tut sday evening. He had
just returned from Moline, III., where he
was taken sick, and lived four days after
reaching this city. He was married here
about two years ago and leaves a wife
and one child. Funeral services will be
held at the house Thursday and will be
conducted by a Greek priest, from
Omaha, and burial will be in the Colum
bus cemetery. As he was in poor circum
stances the Greeks of this city took
charge of the funeral and paid all ex
penses. Sunday morning Chief of Police
Schack rounded up the hoboes who had
an assortment of merchandise that they
could not account for in satisfactory
manner. They lodged in the county
jail until Tuesday morning when they
had a hearing before Police Judge
O'Brien, and three of them, giving the
names of Wm. Lawrence, John Day and
Wm. Johnson were sentenced to ten
dsys in the county jail, every other day
on bread and water. The fourth mem
ber of the buncb,Frank Smith, establish
ed his innocence and was discharged.
The stuff they had stolen was valued
at over $11.00, and consisted of mer
chandise from a number of the stores.
Sail, indeed, was the death of Margaret
Catherine Vogel, only child of Mr. and
Mia. Anton Vogel. Apparently in the
best of health, she was taken with scar
let fever the first of last week and death
resulted from paralysis of the heart Sat
urday evening. She was born at the
present family home January 0, 1897,
and was thirteen years, three months
and ten days old. For several years she
has been a student at the Catholic
school, and in fact attending there until
compelled to stop on aerountof sickness.
During her illness she was in the second
story of the building and a strict quar
antine maintained. Funeral services
were held from the home Monday morn
ing at 9 o'clock, and burial was in the
Catholic cemetery.
Monroe is going to have a bridge
across the Loup river at that place if
such a thing is possible And it is very
probable they will succeed, judging from
the way they are taking hold of the
project. About two weeks ago a sub
scription list was started to ascertain
how much could be raised there, and
already they have $2,000 pledged and ex
pect to do much better than that. Loup
township, just across the river south of
them, is also much interested in the
project, and will lend financial aid, as
the bridge means as much to them as to
the village of Monroe, making their dis
tance to market comparatively small and
also a big increase in the value of their
land. The men behind the bridge pro
ject expect to raise a large portion of
the amount necessary and then ask for
a bond issue for the balance, which
would not be large. Monroe has talked
bridge ever since the town was started,
but they believe they are nearer success
now than ever before.
Association of
Commercial
Clubs.
Next week, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, April 36. 27 and 28, Columbus

ance, it means that. IfflO representative

Wednesday morning the business

meeting. At this session the president
of the state association will call on the
representatives from each club to make
a statement as to wnai progress was
made by tbeir club during the year, and
also any suggestions or anything they
have profited by.
Wednesday afternoon, after the con
clusion of the business session, the
guests will be taken around the city in
autos and given an opportunity to get
an idea of the growth of our city.
And in this connection, the local club
wishes to have all the business bouses
in the city properly decorated during the
convention, and to give the visitors as
warm a welcome as possible.
In connection with the state meeting
the local commercial club will merge

delegates at the Orpheus hall on Thurs
